Note: 1. If the conditions of the Power on Reset timing are not satisfied during power ON/OFF, the internal Power
on Reset (POR) circuit will not operate normally.
2. During normal operation, if the VDD drops below the minimum voltage as defined in the operating voltage
spec, then the conditions for the Power on Reset timing must also be satisfied. This means that VDD must
drop to 0V and remain there for 20ms (min.) before rising to the normal operating voltage.
3. Data transfers on the I2C-bus or 4-wire serial bus should be avoided for 1 ms following a power-on to allow
the reset sequence to complete

Functional Description
clock, using the SYS DIS command can neither turn
the oscillator off nor execute the power down mode.
The crystal oscillator option can also be used where
an external frequency source is connected to the
OSC pin. In this case, the system will fail to enter the
power down mode, similar to the case for the external
clock source operation. After an initial system power
on, the device will be in the SYS DIS state.
Power-on Reset
After power is applied, the devices will be initialised
by an internal power-on reset circuit. The status of the
internal circuits after initialisation is as follows:
• System Oscillator will be off
• COM0~COM7 outputs status is high impedance.
External Clock Source
• The row CMOS outputs will all be low
OSC
• The LED display will be in an off state
SEL bit
• Dimming is set to 16/16duty

• The Blinking function will be in an off state.

System Oscillator Configuration
Data transfers on the I2C-bus or 4-wire serial bus
should be avoided for 1 ms following a power-on to
allow the reset initialisation operation to complete.
Display Data Address Pointer
The address mechanism for the display RAM is
implemented using the address pointer. This allows
the loading of an individual display data byte, or a
series of display data bytes, into any location of the
display RAM. The sequence commences with the
initialisation of the address pointer by the address
pointer command.
System Oscillator
The system clock is used to generate the time base
clock frequency LED-driving clock. The clock may
be sourced from an on-chip 256kHz RC oscillator or
from an external clock using software setups. After
the SYS DIS command is executed, the system clock
will stop and the LED duty cycle generator will turn
off. This command is however available only for the
on-chip RC oscillator. Once the system clock stops the
LED display will become blank and the time base will
also stop functioning. The LED OFF command is used
to turn the LED duty cycle generator off. After the
LED duty cycle generator switches off by issuing the
LED OFF command, using the SYS DIS command
will reduce the power consumption, allowing it to
operate as a system power down command. However
if the external clock source is chosen as the system
Blinker
The device contains a versatile blinking function. The
whole display can be made to flash at frequencies
selected by the Blink command. The blinking
frequencies are integer multiples of the system
frequency. The ratios between the system oscillator
and the blinking frequencies depend upon the mode in
which the device is operating, as follows:
• Blinking frequency = 2Hz

Display Memory – RAM Structure
• The display RAM is a static 88×4-bit RAM which stores the LED data. Logic “1” in the RAM bit-map indicates
an “on” state of the corresponding LED Row. Similarly, a logic 0 indicates the “off” state.
• There is a one-to-one correspondence between the RAM addresses and the Row outputs, and between the
individual bits of a RAM word and the column outputs. The following shows the mapping from the RAM to the
LED pattern:

Note: 1.The LED display RAM address is specified by the Address Set command. The address will be
automatically incremented by one after the 4-bit data is shifted in.
2. It is recommended to initialize the display RAM data by clearing all RAM data before the LED display
function is activated. If the RAM data is not initialized before enabling the LED display function, it may
result in abnormal LED display effect after executing the LED ON command.

HT1635C/HT1635D
4-wire Serial Interface
Interfacing
Only four lines are required to interface to the
HT1635C. The CSB line is used to initialise the serial
interface circuit and to terminate the communication
between the host controller and the device. If the CSB
pin is set high, the data and command issued between
the host controller and the device are first disabled
and then initialised. Before issuing a mode command
or before mode switching, a high level pulse is
required to initialise the device serial interface. The
DATA line is the serial data input/output line. Data to
be read or written or commands to be written have to
be transferred on the DATA line. The RDB line is the
READ clock input. Data in the RAM is clocked out
on the falling edge of the RDB signal and will appear
on the DATA line. It is recommended that the host
controller read in the correct data during the interval
between the rising edge and the next falling edge of
the RDB signal. The WRB line is the WRITE clock
input. The data, address, and command on the DATA
line are all clocked into the device on the rising edge
of the WRB signal.
Command Format
Software setups are used to configure the devices.
There are two mode commands to configure the
device resources and to transfer the LED display
data. The configurations are setup using the command
mode which has a command mode ID of 100. The
command mode consists of a system configuration
command, a system frequency selection command,
an LED configuration command and an operating
command. The data mode includes READ, WRITE,
and READ-MODIFY-WRITE operations.
The accompanying table shows the data and command
mode IDs.

Command
The mode command should be issued before any
data or other commands are transferred. If successive
commands have been issued, the command mode
ID, namely 100, can be omitted. While the system is
operating in the non-successive command or the nonsuccessive address data mode, the CSB pin should
be set to “1” and the previous operation mode will
be reset also. Once the CSB pin returns to “0”, a new
operation mode ID should be issued first.

HT1635C/HT1635D
I2C Serial Interface
P
SDA
Sr
The HT1635D includes an I2C serial interface. The
I2C bus is a bidirectional, two-line communication
link between different ICs or modules. The two lines
are a serial data line, SDA, and a serial clock line,
SCL. Both lines are connected to a positive supply via
a pull-up resistor. When the bus is free both lines are
high. The output stages of devices connected to the
bus must have open-drain or open-collector types in
order to implement a wired or function. Data transfer
is initiated only when the bus is not busy.

ACK
• A slave receiver which is addressed must generate
an acknowledge, ACK, after the reception of each
byte.
• The device that provides an acknowledge must pull
down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock
pulse so that it remains at a stable low level during
the high period of this clock pulse.
• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the
slave by generating a not-acknowledge, NACK,
bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the
slave. In this case, the master receiver must leave
the data line high during the 9th pulse so as to not
acknowledge. The master will generate a STOP or
a repeated START condition.

Slave Addressing
• The device requires an 8-bit slave address word
following a start condition to enable the chip for a
write operation. The device address words consist
of a mandatory one, zero sequence for the first four
most significant bits. Refer to the diagram showing
the slave Address. This is common to all LED
devices.

START
condition
• The bus stays busy if a repeated START(Sr) is
generated instead of a STOP condition. The
START(S) and repeated START(Sr) conditions are
functionally identical.
SCL
P
• The slave address byte is the first byte received
following the START condition from the master
device. The first seven bits of the first byte make up
the slave address. The eighth bit defines whether a
read or write operation is to be performed. When
the R/W bit is “1”, then a read operation is selected.
A “0” selects a write operation.
STOP condition
Byte Format
Every byte put on the SDA line must be 8-bits long.
The number of bytes that can be transmitted per
transfer is unrestricted. Each byte has to be followed
by an acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the
most significant bit (MSB) first.
Rev. 1.00
7
• Each byte of eight bit length is followed by one
acknowledge bit. This acknowledge bit is a low
level placed on the bus by the receiver. The master
generates an extra acknowledge related clock
pulse.
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the
high period of the clock. The high or low state of the
data line can only change when the clock signal on
the SCL line is low as shown in the accompanying
diagram.

• The address bits are “1, 1, 0, 1, 0, A1, A0”. When
an address byte is sent, the device compares the
first seven bits after the START condition. If they
match, the device outputs an Acknowledge on the
SDA line.

Read Operation – Read Display Data Operation
In this mode, the master reads the device data after setting the slave address. Following the R/W bit, which is
zero, and the acknowledge bit, then follows the display data address setting command code (1st). After this is the
address pointer (An) which is written to the address pointer (2nd). Next comes the START condition and slave
address, followed by an R/W bit which is high. The data which was addressed is then transmitted. The address
pointer is only incremented on reception of an acknowledge clock. The device will place the data at address An+1
onto the bus. The master reads and acknowledges the new byte and the address pointer is incremented to “An+2”.
• If the memory location exceeds the limit value of 0X57H, the memory pointer will return to 00H.
• If only a read command is sent to the I2C interface, then dummy data is sent out.
• This cycle for reading consecutive addresses will continue until the master sends a NACK and STOP condition.
